I've never killed an animal illegally. I guess I'm weird...  Did you retrieve and eat your teal? If yes, assuming it was also at a fairly young age, I'd not think it was cool, but could chalk it up to childhood stupidity, if it was an isolated incident. Chef, one of those 'kids' was 30 years old. Were they 13 or so, I'd be far more inclined to cut them some slack. If you haven't figured out at 30 that that kind of shit doesn't float, IMO, it's far too late. ______________________ Hunting: I'd kill to participate. | |||

Norton: Many thanks for the kind invite. I'm on Long Island (yeah, I should have gone north like you). I am 79 and have not hunted in some 10 years or so because of health problems. Anyway, again my thanks. | |||

KG: Move over so I can join you as one of the "weird" people who didn't violate game laws. (Actually,in any event, I found the video of grown men shooting with a rifle at the literal "sitting ducks" to be shocking -as you did) (BTW, I loved your response to one poster where you asked if he ate the teal. My father had his own set of game laws and one rule I learned early on was - "Don't shoot it if you won't eat it". In plain words, wildlife was not some kind of target for my childish impulse to want to "shoot at something". I lived to learn that not everyone got that kind of education) | |||

No sweat Gerry.....my last stop prior to moving up here was 3 years in East Meadow, Long Island at NUMC learning how to fix hands and make boobs bigger. Shame I never got to duck hunt while I was down there.....just too darned busy, as it were. | |||

Of course I ate the teal, they're delicious! My point might have been missed, a fine by itself isn't much of a learning tool-just like jailtime doesn't help. Suppose the "kids" had been given the community service and had to volunteer for a couple hundred hours with Ducks Unlimited. You know restoring habitat, setting up nesting boxes etc. They would be way further ahead on the learning curve than simply a fine. I say fine them, make them take hunter safety, volunteer with DU then go hunting with a more experienced guy to really learn what hunting is about. | |||

I think your heart's in the right place, but I disagree that those guys, given their age and egregious killings, should ever be allowed to hunt. From where I sit, what they did was a criminal act, and as such, would have their licenses to possess firearms revoked for life,m especially as I don't believe it was an isolated incident. Slobs like that just don't belong in our ranks. My opinion, anyway. And worth what you paid for it, as you know. You're right on the teal though, Chef. They're damned fine groceries, and I can't wait to get back after them in about 6 weeks. Gerry, you're good people; always appreciate your input. Even if you do root for the wrong team.  Norton, if you're still up, holler at me. Heading out of the Mack for stripers at 0400 before tuna on the Cape TH and F. Thanks for the discussion, fellas. ______________________ Hunting: I'd kill to participate. | |||

Gerry, you continue to be difficult, but I haven't given up on you yet. Wifey stays in the city, but works in Lake Success/Great Neck. I have duck hunting friends in Patchogue as well that I visit as well. If nothing else, I'm going to hound you to at least come out for coffee. Before I head down next time, I'll PM you. If nothing else, I'm persistent! ______________________ Hunting: I'd kill to participate. | |||

KG: Please educate me about the apparent mysteries of the PM. I have gotten so far as to put you and Norton on my list but am baffled as to how to send a message. How do you (and Norton) get access to my profile where I have given my email address? | |||

Gerry, the easiest way to do it is by clicking on my (or anyonie else's name) at the top left of any posts of mine. From the drop down menu that appears when you click the name you then would choose #4 from the top, entitled 'invite member XYZ to a private topic' or somesuch. Smooth sailing from there. I noted your mention of cape buffalo hunting in another post I've read of yours here. That coffee (and lunch) are on me too, as long as you start dropping some good old hunting takes on me. Off to hunt tuna east of Chatham. Wish me luck! ______________________ Hunting: I'd kill to participate. | |||

+1 These AR sentencing tigers sound more politically correct than greenpeace. Their sentence opinions sound like anti-gun and anti-hunting grandstanding. Calgary carrying a story about three assholes popping coots outside Saskatoon? Saskatoon and Calgary aren't even in the same province. | |||
